Getting started

To get started in this course we need you to do some preparation. Please start by watching the course introduction.

Git and Github

Git is a source control tool that will be used for all exercises and examinations in the course.

Install Git on your computer. We will use git to handle version control over our code and to push it to us for examination. Be sure to do a read-up to understand what git are and install it from https://git-scm.com.

Register your Github-account in coursepress (https://coursepress.lnu.se/profile/). Make sure you are logged in!. We will use Github for storing code and examination of code and to get that working you need to tell us your github name. When we have that register we can start creating repositories to you (it can take some day since this is done manually(-ish).

IDE

In this course several tools will be introduced to support a modern workflow. Though you sometimes will be forced to use some tools, the code editor will be your own choice. Demos etc. in the course may be recorded using different editors, however, recommended code editor is Visual Studio Code.

Install the IDE of your choice.

Application environment
